> debian
It's small, it has a large package base, so I don't need flatpak on my server, it has systemd, which makes cron and services trivial, and it can run k8s and docker.

When I first had one I used Debian. If I were to need one again, I'd use OpenBSD.

Debian. I've been running it an upgrading it for a long time. I initially picked it because it was supposed to be stable. It's not really as stable as I would have hoped, updates have broken important things more than once (like virtualization, not some random package everyone forgot exists) and right now I'm still using Debian 12 because after an attempted upgrade to 13 one of my VMs was no longer working and rtorrent would segfault when receiving XMLRPC requests. Kinda disappointing for a distro supposedly famed for its "stability."

I haven't debugged either issue and just went back to a backup I took before the upgrade.

5$ vps
Use arch because it just werks and has no bloat hogging ram by default. At the same time has systemd so I can use service files from the internet. Just needed to configure it to delete package cache after each update because otherwise I ran out of space very fast.

whatever my DS220 uses (yes, I'm calling that a server, cope). It's probably Debian based but I'm too lazy to look it up.
